This is more i guess out of interest, as it is getting a bit ahead of myself. I have failed to actually read anything explicit on it from the various protocols.

If CPn infection has a high chance of false negatives, how are you planning on deciding what the end point is for your treatment is? or do you see this as a treatment for the rest of your life?

I stopped full-time treatment after one year, but still take booster doses of two weeks every two months, working on to every three months, then gradually extending this. To be on the safe side, I guess that you might have to do something like this forever, until better drugs come along, but you should be able to go eventually for quite a few months.

I guess a related question, is, how long would it take a CPn infection to re-build itself to a point where it could make the same effect (ie MS attack)?

Is there any scientific evidence for this time frame?

I was wondering the same thing, in an idle moment, and I would think, as we are now aware how to keep the blood-brain barrier up with vitamins, etc., that (logically) we would not again be allowing cpn into our brains, so the MS aspect 'should' be moot.
That, of course, assumes we manage to kill all the cpn currently residing inside our brains. No guarantee of that, since just one could blossom into a full-scale problem again. Like Sarah, I think I will be doing this treatment, albeit intermittently, for the rest of my life.

I am prepared to continue the protocol until I decide that my brain is what it used to be, which could mean indefinitely.

I have realised, after posting the original question. Assuming that MS is caused in majority by the CPn infection itself, and CPn is the most common baterial cause of chest infections amongst the general population, then, even if one was to kill every CPn cell in your CNS, re-infection would occur quite easily from someone else in the general population. ie you would just catch it again.

Hi there Cure or Bust,

I guess everyone is different. The change in my husband's need to eat has been so marked, we can't help but feel it's somehow MS related. Weird how he must eat prompty at 11:10 a.m. ,as well. He says he feels Frankensteiny if he does not.

I have been following this Antibiotics stuff for a little while but I haven't read about your experience on abx. How are you doing on the protocol? I'm trying to sort this all out and would love to hear your experiences.
